FC U15 Boys win Penn State 8v8

Penn State 8v8 Champions

On Sunday, August 7, the Chambersburg FC boys' U15 team won the Penn State 8v8 tournament. The team went 3-0-0 defeating club teams from Mifflinburg, Penns Forest, and Saucon Valley.

FC was supposed to play each team in a round-robin format, with the top two teams going to the championship game. Going into our final round-robin game against Saucon Valley, we were both 2-0, while the other two teams were 0-2, so we knew we would have to play them twice. Being that weather delays held up play all day and that both teams had a distance to travel home (Saucon Valley was over 3 hours drive!) the coaches asked the tournament officials if we could play just one game for the title. In that game FC won 5-1, taking the championship for the second time (2009 being the other [we didn't participate in 2010]).
